RT @VicctorianChad@twitter.com: Instead of digging-in every time a European looks down on America, Take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself: β€œWhat kind of a country squanders its entire golden age building sterile lonely environmentally destructive places instead of beauty?” https://hell.twtr.plus/media/e41198a5f08cea9087e6020b427193ce5096d71cc541aee1dc1a5e8f6ebce3f8.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/6e0c704c8e38816793e77fe980822925ede53e9b54640bcd3de818f002ebd44f.file
Has anyone visited? All descriptions call it small but it certainly doesn't look small even for six adults (seven if you include the manservant who lived in a small garret).
The house where Jane Austen lived from 1809 until her death in 1817. Originally a 17th century timber framed farmhouse with a thatched roof, it became a coaching inn until the mid-18th c. when it was the bailiff's house of the estate it belonged to, in 1769. Jane lived there with her mother and sister, a family friend, two maids and one manservant. The house was clad in brick and re-roofed with tiles. Every room has a fireplace. The sitting room window closest to the road was bricked in, to give the ladies more privacy from the busy road and a new window opened up towards the garden. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/9f3266799f7485b448d82d6c5fe6da834efb3709f8e17acc7349ac0b58b3e1a9.file
The serious student of Chesterton in Japan had better read the notes. I never found notes like this for Carlyle. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/81a13f91883c2980f66c4e7e29af4cef1d56dfb99d0f630ac85865a61c7856d2.file
